It’s a little hard understanding just how exactly, YouTube user, guinness0507 stumbled upon the idea to wrap freshly painted items of clothing around his face and mouth, but thank heavens he did, because now we all get to reap the benefits of his discovery.

*wipes tear from eye*

After f**king around with thermochromatic paint for a while, guinness0507 realized that the 86º F color changing paint could work perfectly for a replica Rorschach ink-shifting mask, from Watchmen. With each breath, the paint would change from black to white, giving off the effect of shifting movement.

Pretty damn cool, if I must say, although it’s hard to tell if wearing a mask doused in paint is a very effective way to keep your complexion clear. Video of how to create the paint and mask is after the jump, although I must warn you that initially the footage is going to look like a backcountry meth operation.
